Gas Bottle

Hi just wondered ,Ive 2 got 6 kg propane metal heavy ones ,and I nearly change them to the new light weight ones but the place I was getting them from said I would be better staying the heavy ones for safety ,cheers :thumb: any answer pleased on this matter

All gas bottles are safe to use otherwise they would not make them????? I have the Alugas bottles 2 x 11kg and are as safe as any other bottle (German made) but are as light as a feather almost unbelievable how light they are, you can actually lift them with 1 finger when empty but very strong, good to use with the outside LPG filling system and LPG can be found in most countries now so so easy, but expensive to start with but very worthwhile, never have to lug another gas bottle in or out of locker, just fill up at any LPG pump that you find in gge's.

Don't know about safety but the Calor Lite bottles are dearer - every time.

Yes, it irks me that having been told that the Calor Lite bottles would be replacing the standard ones I am now paying quite a bit more each time I refil the Lite cylinder than when I replace my other one but just for the same amount of gas! oh:

The truth may have been that the dealer you went to didn't have any lights, they have been in very short supply this year to the extent that I was told Calor stopped dealers exchanging heavies for lights through the summer and also 13kg for lights. Maybe your dealer didn't want to lose a sale especially as for some the small bottle season is over, it's all 13 KG for domestic heater use through the winter
